Nexis Adaptor Mounting Plate, Nickel-Plated, Screw-On, 2mm
Description
Nexis Adaptor Mounting Plate For Face Frames
Nexis adaptor mounting plate from Grass America is a die-cast steel hinge mounting plate designed for Nexis face frame applications, giving installers a dedicated base for precise cabinet door alignment on face frame constructions. The plate is nickel-plated, so the surface resists wear during hinge adjustments in the shop or on the job. This plate is screw-on with a 2mm mounting height, providing a defined reference plane when laying out hinges on cabinet sides. The design affixes to the hinge via a clip on connection, so the hinge arm snaps to the plate without separate fasteners, speeding up door hanging and removal. This mounting plate is part of the Nexis hinge system, so it supports a consistent hardware lineup on cabinets that use Nexis face frame hinges.
Key Nexis Plate Details That Support Precise Work
- The plate is made of die-cast steel, which provides a solid base under the hinge arm, supporting repeatable door alignment across multiple cabinets.
- The nickel-plated finish gives the plate a smooth, durable surface, which helps hinges move and adjust without rough spots at the mounting point.
- The clip on design affixes the hinge to the plate, allowing fast hinge installation and quick removal when adjusting doors or servicing cabinets.
- Two cams on the plate provide adjustment, giving installers fine control of door position without relocating the plate after it is mounted.
- The plate attaches to the cabinet side using #6 x 5/8 flat head screws, creating a familiar screw pattern for many cabinet box constructions.
Screw-On Hinge Plate Setup For Face Frames
This Nexis adaptor mounting plate is a screw-on style plate with 2mm mounting height, so installation uses standard screw-driving steps while setting the hinge base at a known offset. The plate attaches to the cabinet side with #6 x 5/8 flat head screws, providing a secure connection into typical cabinet materials where those screws are commonly used. Because the hinge arm clips to the plate, installers can mount all plates first, then clip on doors in sequence, which organizes workflow on larger cabinet runs. The 2mm height reference makes layout more predictable when aligning multiple doors along a bank of cabinets that share the same Nexis hinge series.
Using This Nexis Plate In Cabinet Projects
Where This Nexis Face Frame Plate Fits Best
Nexis face frame adapter plates are designed specifically for face frame cabinets that use Nexis hinges, so they serve as the bridge between the cabinet side and the hinge arm in those builds. As a hinge mounting plate, it sits on the cabinet side and provides the interface where the hinge clips on, making it central to how the door is carried and swung. The 2mm plate height gives a defined mounting layer for door reveal planning along the frame. Because the plate attaches with #6 x 5/8 flat head screws, it works naturally in cabinet sides that accept those screws, supporting straightforward installation in woodworking shops that already stock that screw size.
Adjustment Cams That Help Fine-Tune Door Alignment
This Nexis adaptor mounting plate has two cams that provide plus or minus 2 mm of cam height adjustment, allowing installers to raise or lower the door relative to the cabinet frame without remounting the plate. The plate also offers plus 3 minus 1 mm of cam depth adjustment, so the door can be moved closer to or farther from the cabinet side for proper overlay and gap control. These cam adjustments are built into the plate, which means door alignment can be tuned at the plate location instead of shifting hinge screw positions. Working with defined adjustment ranges helps achieve consistent reveals along a row of doors that share the same Nexis hinge configuration.
